Kevin,

I have not used Leopard myself, but there was a very good overview of  
how Time Machine works in an AppleInsider article a few days ago.  
It's not very long and answered a handful of questions I had, so  
hopefully it will be useful for you, also.

You can find it here:

I starts out with some historical perspective, but by page 2 it goes  
right into the nuts and bolts.
